Twenty four hours after students attended class in different religious garbs, there was tight security at Baptist Girls High School, Osogbo, Osun State, yesterday.
According to Daily Sun, security would be beefed up in other public schools as from today, pending when the logjam is resolved.
Against this backdrop, the state chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) held a prayer session and called on God to intervene in the ongoing religious crisis.
In recent times, female Muslim students and their Christian classmates attended school adorning hijab and church garments.
Yesterday, armed security personnel mounted surveillance at the gate and premises of the CAN secretariat located within the school during the prayer session.
The programme was organised by the CAN Chairman, Rev. Elisha Ogundiya and presided over by the Vice Chairman, Pastor Moses Ogundeji.
The prayer was directed at rejecting the court ruling on hijab and other alleged Islamisation plots in the state.
Pastor Ogundeji told newsmen that the prayer, which was held at the Dominion Hall of Osun Baptist Conference, Gbodofon, Osogbo, was also meant to ask God for peace and to nullify what he described as “anti-kingdom laws and dealings with satanic forces tormenting the state for the past few weeks.”
